ADSOE adds Minor in Education

The Barry University Adrian Dominican School of Education is pleased to announce the addition of a minor in education to the ADSOE offerings.

A Minor in Education is a great way for you to explore teaching within your subject area, learn different facets of education, and gain experience working with students in a variety of settings. Completing the minor will give you a strong knowledge base in the area of education and prepare you for a graduate program or career in the field of education. Barry undergraduates with any major are welcome to complete the minor.

The minor consists of 21 credits (7 courses) and passing the General Knowledge Exam (GKE) portion of the Florida Teacher Certification Examination*.

Note: Other education courses may be considered for the 3-credit elective with approval from the Director of Undergraduate Programs.

*The GKE must be successfully completed prior to taking junior level courses (300 level).**The required courses are comprised of the Department of Education state-approved professional teaching option (PTO). Successful completion of the PTO leads to eligibility for teaching certification in the state of Florida. Please note that all students are required to take and pass the General Knowledge Exam portion of the Florida Teacher Certification Examination.
